WOW! Irrfan Khan and Priyanka Chopra in Sanjay Bhansali's Gustakhiyan.

Set aside all the rumours, hearsay, and
conjecture. It is finally Irrfan Khan
and Priyanka Chopra as the legendary poet-
lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi and his muse the
bohemian author Amrita Pritam.
Completely discarding recent stories that
claim that Irrfan is no longer able to give
dates to the project a source close
to Gustakhiyan says, "Irrfan has been on
board from the start. He was our first
choice and he remains our only choice to
play Sahir Ludhianvi.
Priyanka Chopra too was all but finalized for
some time now. Apparently,
producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali had made
up his mind to cast her during the making
of Bajirao Mastani.
"With her smouldering sensuality, outgoing
personality and husky diction, Priyanka is
the perfect fit for Amrita Pritam, says a
source.
Gustakhiyan will be directed by
debutante Jasmeet Reen. The film will
chronicle the tumultuous blow-hot-blow-
cold relationship between the
poet Sahir Ludhianvi and
author Amrita Pritam, an association that
lasted for nearly 40 years. It was rumoured
that Bhansali was thinking of signing
his Mastani' Deepika Padukone for Amrita Pri
But, it was felt all along
that Priyanka's personality
patented Pritam to pitch perfection.
As for Irrfan, he was always the first choice
for Sahir.
There have been reports
of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who
produces Gustakhiyan also directing the
project.
Sources close to SLB dismiss this as bunk'.
"Sanjay Leela Bhansali is currently directing
Padmavati. He hasn't even thought of what
he will direct next. Gustakhiyan was
always Jasmeet Reen's project.
